Answer

(a) $I_L = 5.0~mA$ (b) $I_L = 20~mA$

Work Step by Step

We can write an expression for the peak current: $I_L = \frac{\epsilon_0}{\omega ~L}$ $I_L = \frac{\epsilon_0}{2\pi ~f ~L}$ (a) If the emf frequency is doubled, then the peak current decreases by a factor of $\frac{1}{2}$ $I_L = 5.0~mA$ (b) If the emf peak voltage is doubled, then the peak current increases by a factor of $2$ $I_L = 20~mA$
